Nigel Binks has sent in these pics of his 2 classic Fords! 😃
The moredoor Mk2 Escort was just a rolling shell when Nigel bought. He has since fully stripped it down, put it onto a roll over jig and given the car a proper rebuild. All the work was carried out by Nigel himself and it now boasts an awesome spec. The engine in the bay is a 1630cc Crossflow lump which is mated to a Quaife straight cut gearbox. Power is then sent to the wheels via an English axle with an L.S.D.
Nigels Cortina is a 2.0 GL model that he picked up for just £100 18 years ago!
The car had sat unused for 8 years prior but after a service including a cam belt and some spark plugs and ignition leads, an overhaul to the brakes, and a couple of bushes the car was back on the road.
The car was running Weber twin 40 DCOE carburettors and was being used by Nigel for track days but, with these cars becoming so rare nowadays the car is being treated with a bit more respect and is running on its original carb.
Such a cool pair or old skool Fords! Thanks for your email Nigel! 👍
